GREAT BRITAIN: Moo

In partial return for such cultural
legacies as Shakespeare's plays, the British Common Law and fish &
chips, the U.S. has transmitted to Britain in recent years a passion
for the 100%-American chocolate milk shake and double frosted. Last
October, alarmed at this drift toward such dairy delights, Satirist
Maurice Lane Norcott attempted to warn readers of the London Daily
Mail against the perils involved. Plumbing the darkest depths of his
imagination, he envisioned a Hollywood soft drink fountain in the heart
of London and called it "Mother Moo-moo's Milk Bar."
